Description
Bobby Stinson, Sheriff of Cocke County, Tennessee, appeals from a judgment entered after a jury trial in favor of plaintiff-appellee, Janette Murr, in the amount of $20,000 for compensatory damages and $125,000 for punitive damages. Plaintiff-appellee Janette Dyke Murr brought this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging violations of due process, assault and battery, false arrest, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, libel per se, and defamation by inducement and innuendo. Appellee filed the action on July 14, 1982. The District Judge subsequently heard a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, a motion for a new trial, and a motion for a remittitur and denied all of said motions while granting appellee's request for attorney's fees. The testimony which produced these trial results was primarily that of plaintiff Murr. On April 29, 1982, she went to the Sheriff's Department in Cocke County to inquire about an automobile accident report concerning an accident in which she had been involved. She obtained a copy of the report and started to leave the courthouse and encountered Sheriff Stinson. She testified that he called to her by name and that she responded as to why she had come to his office. The record indicates that Sheriff Stinson, according to Ms. Murr's testimony, then stated: ""I didn't touch your damn brake lights and I didn't run you out of the road."" The two of them entered the courthouse and walked toward the Sheriff's suite of offices. The Sheriff stated, ""I remember the wreck real well. You refused to give my deputy any information."" Sheriff Stinson shouted, ""Don't come down here jumping on me shaking all over."" The Sheriff also advised Ms. Murr to get her ""damn ass out."" Ms. Murr told the Sheriff that she was in a public place and that he could not order her to leave.
